I’m a Canadian picture book illustrator passionate about creating vivid, emotionally rich artwork that brings stories to life. Inspired by my own experience with a learning disability, I focus on characters and compositions that help children celebrate their individuality and feel seen.
My work is playful, expressive, and full of bold colour. Designed to enhance narratives, connect with young readers, and leave a lasting impression. I’m currently seeking agent representation and open to new picture book illustration projects, especially those that entertain while supporting emotional growth and confidence in children.
Through my work, I aim to instill a love of learning, a strong sense of self-worth, and an appreciation for the power of storytelling in the next generation.
Alongside illustration, I create ambient electronic music and share insights about the open-source tools that support my creative process. Whether I’m drawing, composing, or exploring new workflows, my goal is to make work that feels personal, thoughtful, and accessible.
I’m always happy to connect with authors, editors, agents, or fellow creatives. Visit my contact page to get in touch.
